The Marquis in SPACE!

This weekend April 24-25 I'll be setting up in artist alley at the S.P.A.C.E (Small Press and Alternative Comics Expo) in Columbus, Ohio. Along with some Marquis pins and promos at the table, I'll also have sketchbooks and Marquis t-shirts for sale~ and always happy to do quick sketches for anyone stopping by to say hello! I'll also be sitting in on a couple of panels Sunday afternoon including one on Horror Comics. Hope to see you at the show!

I love this drawing! By the way, I've just finished reading the Modern Masters interview and this is a great document. I 've learnt many interesting things about how you work and about your artistic background. Thanks for answering that 90-page-long interview!!! And you'll be the one doing the next Lobster story!!! That's christmas in April!

The Marquis

The townspeople prayed for a savior...what came was the devil.

A tale of unholy faith

First seeing print in 1997, The Marquis is the comic series creation of artist/writer Guy Davis. An action/ horror series that followed the life and damnation of The Marquis Vol de Galle, his fight against the devils of Hell and his own faith and madness.

The Marquis is now being published through Dark Horse Comics, beginning with "The Marquis: Inferno" which collects the stories from both Danse Macabre and Intermezzo along with an expanded sketchbook section and full-color cover gallery. Since it's creation, The Marquis was always planned as a finite series, and now through Dark Horse the remaining storylines will be coming out as original graphic novels beginning with “The Marquis and The Midwife”, to be followed by the last two books that tell the complete story of the Marquis Vol de Galle.

In addition to the english language editions from Dark Horse, the French versions of the series have been collected into deluxe hardcover formats through Les Humanoïdes Associés along with Spanish editions through Norma Editorial.
